EMBLEMS of HOPE - Paintings by Ruth Piper

These paintings explore feelings of melancholy and loss. The existential threat of human annihilation. And the triumphant, certainty of the endless power of nature to return. They are fictional composite landscapes, that have a nocturnal, and sometimes unsettling atmosphere, built up or layered from elements, either invented or observed separately in different places. www.ruthpiper.com ruth@ruthpiper.com
